The forest chose her for a reason...
Akila has never felt like she belongs anywhere.
Caught between worlds, always on the outside looking in, she's learned to stay quiet. Invisible.
Until a violent storm forces her family to move to a remote village deep within an ancient rainforest.
The forest is overwhelming.
Unpredictable.
Watching.
Because it isn't just a forest...
It's alive.
When Akila encounters a powerful mythical guardian, she uncovers a hidden connection, one rooted in ancient legends and forgotten myths.
And now the forest is in danger.
To save it, Akila must face the one thing she's always tried to hide:
Who she really is.
